Ghost Bites

02-10 Frozen in Time: The Marble Bride from Hungary


Listen Later

On this chilling installment of Ghost Bites, Mike brings the historical details on the forgotten Victorian-era ghost story, "The Marble Bride" by Humbert.

It's a tale of eternal love, stone-cold commitment, and a bride who really, really loved her own bust.

Meanwhile, JT tries to understand why anyone would willingly choose to haunt a marble statue, debates the merits of granite vs. quartz in the afterlife, and gives his unsolicited opinion on the worst ghost proposal ever. It’s a stone-cold killer of an episode!
